Of all the pregnancy pillows I tested, my favorite was Frida Mom’s Adjustable Keep Cool Pregnancy Pillow. This lightweight cylindrical pillow is filled with microbeads to ensure proper airflow and keep you cool. It is also fully adjustable and can be shaped into a U, C, L, or I shape. Since it is moldable, it is less likely to get in the way when co-sleeping than a full-body pregnancy pillow.

If you don’t like softer options, this may not be for you. I found this pillow to be perfect for me and my needs throughout most of my pregnancy, but I found this pillow to be ideal for my second trimester when my belly grows and I need more support when sleeping on my side. may be suitable.

I liked that this pillow wasn’t too big and was easy to maneuver as I changed sleeping positions throughout the night. I also appreciated that the pillow didn’t overheat and stayed comfortably cool all night. I even caught my husband taking a nap on it once, so even people who often sleep on their sides can enjoy this pillow.
